Scouting Indiana

[brfrad]

This match-up for us does not look promising for us.  It is against one of the blue bloods in a historic building.

 

I watched one game involving Indiana and it was against Butler.  Butler slowed the pace down, and hit shots (something we don't do very well).

 

Looking at the stats.  Indiana shoots 40.1 % from 3, and opponents shoot 27.0 % from 3.  They do very well on the offensive boards, rebounding 45% of their own misses, and shoot 51.9%.  That means that 74% of their shots either go in the basket, or they grab their own rebound.  I am trying to find an area where we might have an advantage, but I don't see one.  I don't like our chances, but you never know.

 

To stay in the game, we have to guard them from 3, and make some outside shots.  Getting Bryant in foul trouble would be a plus.  Webster and Watson need to get in the lane, and when they get in the lane, need to make their shot or pass to a wide open shooter.  That said shooter needs to make shots.  I think slowing down the pace, a little will help.

Playing another team with the skill level of Kansas, UCLA and one or two others.  Can we be blown out...sure.  Can we play it close...absolutely.  Can we win...possibly.  A lot of things have to go right and we have to play at an exceptional level.

We tend toplay of the level of the team we are playing, so I am thinking we hang for at least mid way through the second half.  Or at least hope so.

Never know what can happen.

Absolutely need to dominate the turnover game as we will need all the extra possessions we can get.  Glynn can probably grab 4-8 points off of steals, assuming he doesn't slow down for layups
